That Brook innings really deserved a win.
England really has to play better bowlers, this bowling attack is so poor. Apart from Carse, other are bowling 125-130 kph.

England beaten by NZ despite Brook's majestic 135
First one-day international, Mount Maunganui
England 223 (35.2 overs): Brook 135 (101), Overton 46 (54); Foulkes 4-41
New Zealand 224-6 (36.4 overs): Mitchell 78* (91), Bracewell 51 (51); Carse 3-45
New Zealand won by four wickets; lead series 1-0
England were beaten by four wickets by New Zealand in the first one-day international, despite Harry Brook's outrageous century threatening to rescue his side after an awful top-order batting collapse.
The tourists lost Jamie Smith to the first ball of the match, were 5-3 at the end of the second over with Joe Root bowled for two, and 33-5 in the ninth.
Their hopes, along with any idea of Root and co easing into form before the Ashes, appeared in tatters but captain Brook counter-attacked against superb New Zealand bowling in favourable, seaming conditions, hitting an audacious 135 from 101 balls to drag his side to 223 in Mount Maunganui.
No other batter in England's top seven made double figures but Brook struck 11 sixes - seven of which came as he dominated a 10th-wicket stand of 57 with last man Luke Wood.
Although England were all out in 35.2 overs, Brook had given his side a chance and when Brydon Carse took three wickets in a fine new-ball spell the Black Caps were in real danger at 66-4.
Crucially, though, England dropped Michael Bracewell on two and Daryl Mitchell on 33. Bracewell went on to make 51 and Mitchell 78 not out as the hosts won with 13.2 overs to spare.
England can level the series in the second match in Hamilton on Wednesday (01:00 GMT) but this match will be best remembered for:
It is no secret England are using this tour, including the stop-start rain-affected T20s that preceded these ODIs, to build towards the Ashes.
While others are yet to find form, the question for Brook, who scored 78 in the second T20 last week, is whether he can maintain his through the switch in conditions and formats. On the evidence so far, the answer is a resounding yes.
Batting was perilously difficult when he came in.
Brook was hit on the body three times as he failed to score from his first six deliveries. He advanced to his seventh to drive Matt Henry through the covers and it showed him the way.
The 26-year-old reached 50 in 36 deliveries before settling into a stand of 87 with Jamie Overton. When Overton fell to a leading edge for 46, Carse and Adil Rashid quickly followed and Brook cut loose while farming the strike to protect Wood.
He hit three consecutive sixes off Jacob Duffy to reach his hundred and struck another three in one over from Henry - targeting the leg side and dispatching anything short by either flicking it over fine leg or cracking it over mid-wicket.
The low-key nature of this series and the fact it came in a disappointing defeat should not prevent this knock from being rated among the best for England in ODIs.
He scored 60.5% of England's runs - putting him 12th on the all-time list for that statistic in ODIs. It was also Brook's highest score in the format.
A bad start for Root and co
While Brook has had two weeks in New Zealand, Root, Smith and fellow opener Ben Duckett were in the middle for the first time in more than six weeks.
The two remaining matches in this series, plus the one warm-up in Australia, will be their only further opportunities to find form before the first Test on 21 November.
Four runs combined for three players so crucial to England's hopes is clearly not ideal but significant credit must be given to New Zealand's new-ball bowlers.
Henry began the match with a delivery that jagged back significantly to bowl Smith through the gate and barely relented with his accuracy throughout his opening spell of eight overs.
Returning figures of 4-41 in his second ODI, Zak Foulkes was highly impressive and found 0.96 degrees of seam movement plus 1.99 degrees of swing in the first 10 overs - a significant jump from the recent average of 0.89 and 1.41 respectively at this ground.
Duckett nicked a Foulkes ball from round the wicket that angled in before moving away and Root was bowled by a hooping inswinger, albeit one not full enough for his booming drive.
Perhaps the 23-year-old's best delivery was saved for Jacob Bethell.
The left-hander looked to play straight down the pitch but was bowled when the ball swung away late to beat his outside edge.
It left Bethell helpless as he tried to apply more pressure to Ollie Pope's position as Test number three.
Drops costly as Carse presses case
Brook said afterwards he felt England's score was defendable. Had his side held their catches he may well have been right.
Both misses were regulation. The hosts were 75-4 when Root put down Bracewell low at slip off Jamie Overton.
The Black Caps still needed another 93 when Luke Wood dropped the ball when a reverse sweep from Mitchell looped up to him at backward point.
That allowed the Kiwi pair to combine for a measured partnership of 92 and steer New Zealand clear of the early danger caused by Carse.
The 30-year-old seamer found bite from a hard length near the top of the stumps to nick off Kane Williamson first ball, but quick, full deliveries also burst through the defences of opener Will Young and former captain Tom Latham, who had eased to 24 before being pinned lbw.
They were all deliveries that should transfer to pitches in Australia.
'Do or die' - reaction
England captain Harry Brook: "We didn't get off to a good start and I tried to take it upon myself first to have a counter-punch and thankfully it came off. I felt in good touch.
"I've done it a few times [from that position]. It's a do or die moment and thankfully I've been on the right side of that a few times and managed to get us to a decent-ish score to try to defend."
New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner: "Our opening bowlers were outstanding. We know Matt Henry can do that. Then Zak Foulkes was outstanding with the way he swung it. He looked a nightmare, especially for the left-handers.
"With the bat we lost a couple more than we would have liked with the chase. But the intent was great. We knew one big partnership would get us close and Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell's partnership was massive for us."

Central Stags pace-bowler Blair Tickner has been added to the BLACKCAPS squad for the remainder of the Chemist Warehouse ODI series against England.
The 32-year-old will join the side in Hamilton today as a replacement for Kyle Jamieson who was ruled out of the series with a stiff left side.
Ticker has 16 ODI wickets from 13 games and last played for the side in 2023.
BLACKCAPS coach Rob Walter said Tickner was a reliable replacement for Jamieson.
“Blair’s an experienced campaigner and no stranger to international cricket,” he said.
“He bowls a heavy ball from a decent height with plenty of energy and aggression. In that respect he can fill a similar role to what Kyle would normally perform.”
Walter said he was impressed with the first up four-wicket win at Bay Oval.
“It was a good start to the series, and I thought the bowlers set the tone superbly,” he said.
“For Zak Foulkes to claim 4-41 in his first bowl in ODI cricket, including the big wickets of Ben Duckett, Joe Root and Jacob Bethell, showed the level of talent and composure he possesses.
“It was encouraging to see the middle order then step up with the bat on a tricky wicket and I thought Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell showed their experience to help guide us to the target.
“Seddon Park will bring new conditions and challenges, and we know England will be highly motivated to bounce back and level the series.”
The BLACKCAPS relocate to Hamilton today ahead of Wednesday’s second game of the ODI series.

Tough, tough conditions. Lateral movement is around 40% less than the other day but the bounce has been challenging.

Brook needs to get this memo. ODI is not a straightforward format like T20s and Tests.Can somebody tell England tullebaaz that the first rule of ODI cricket is to bat 50 overs
On tough wickets/conditions , they have to knuckle down and bat out 50 overs.
Since November, 2018 England have won only 2 away ODI series - Bangladesh and Netherlands.
They are not even reaching par scores, let alone winning scores.

England have been declining in ODI format for quite a while. They lost to NZ this time.
It feels like England are not taking ODI seriously. They seem more interested in Test and T20.

Clarke called into ODI squad | Henry to return home
Northern Districts pace-bowler Kristian Clarke has been called up to the BLACKCAPS for the first time.
The 24-year-old will join the ODI squad at training in Wellington today as a replacement for the injured Matt Henry.
Henry will return home to Christchurch today, after failing to recover from the left calf strain that ruled him out of Wednesday’s second Chemist Warehouse ODI against England in Hamilton.
Clarke joins the ODI squad in good form, having notched his maiden domestic century and claimed 3-57 in the Ford Trophy yesterday to help his side down the Central Stags in New Plymouth.
Clarke, who was born and raised half an hour from Hamilton in Te Awamutu, first emerged as a player to watch when he starred for New Zealand with bat and ball at the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2020 in South Africa.
Since debuting for Northern Districts in 2022, he has played 75 first class games across the three formats, and toured with New Zealand A to Bangladesh earlier this year.
The BLACKCAPS third and final ODI against England is a day-night match at Sky Stadium on Saturday.

Far too often you see England give zero respect to the conditions. Whether it's playing spin in Asia or seam and swing in NZ, their approach alot of the times does not seem well thought out

They played at Ahmedabad and Mumbai last World Cup and got decimated.
Those pitches are not that flat.
They need pitches similar to 2015-2019 England pitches like Trent Bridge to do some damage with the bat.

In 20 overs, they dont have to protect their weak bowling for long.They can bridge the gap with their ftb attacking. Jamie smith created havoc against us on flat deck but missed out on all spicy ones.if the pitches are tired by feb , am with ur assessment.

Which format are you talking about? They have been terrible in ODIs, especially away from home, for a very long time.
They are a good T20 side

Carse 35 from 26 balls
50 runs partnership ..... they need to push on , 120 balls more remaining . Another 70 runs can push them to 220

Maan. This guy Carse is playing some fearless shots. I just happened to turn on the game 30 minutes ago and thinking Eng is getting obliterated so might as well, turn off the TV. Then decided to watch a little more. Crass was just wafting his bat initially I guess thinking that there is nothing left in the game. Then he started connecting. Now, he might be able to make a game out of this inning.

They'll do alright in the T20's. India should be worried. Making too many changes and playing like rubbish apart from Abhishek.

Shame old story for England. Playing T20 in 50 over cricket. Nice Bazball preparation for the Ashes.

Duckett/Root are test class players. Why are they failing in ODIs here?

Kiwis need to bat with patience , if they bat fifty overs they will win this.

Bazball ( Tullebaazi) is totally exposed.

Two quick wickets for Poms , a couple more can put pressure on them.

ECB should take strict measures towards lethargic casual behaviour of their players. Brook the captain making dumb statements at the pc and playing even dumber shots .
